Chapter 875 You Plotted Against Me
"..." Jiang Xia drove the cat, watching the black cat blend into the night, and his paws curled up unconsciously: This cat feels good to step on... It's a pity that it runs too fast, and it looks like a peace-loving cat. There is no reason to catch a cat and step on it for no reason. Besides, there is something important to do now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sighed regretfully and continued to move forward along the original route, carefully avoiding some of the thin wire alarms that were scattered around in the yard, and came to a place where he could see the door of the house.
Two security guards were standing at the door, one of them was anxiously ringing the doorbell, while the other was on his cell phone, planning to start recording and then break in to check the situation.
But before they walked in.
The doorknob moved and someone opened the door from the inside.
The two security guards looked up and saw a blank, pale face. They were startled, their hair stood on end, and they instinctively raised the various explosion-proof devices in their hands.
"What are you doing?" The person who opened the door noticed their actions and said with dissatisfaction, "Are you trying to attack the owner?!"
“…”
The security guards paused, awakened by these words.
After getting rid of the terrifying thought of "knocking on the door and a ghost appearing" from their minds, the two of them slowly realized what had happened.
——The person who opened the door was certainly not a ghost, but a slender woman.
The woman was wrapped in a white bathrobe, wearing a white shower cap, with her hair all rolled up in the cap, and a white mask on her face. Her whole body was in white, and her skin was white... This made her look particularly scary in the middle of the night.
"Ah, sorry, we didn't mean to attack you." The security guard came back to his senses, looked at his watch, and explained, "Three minutes ago, at 8:57, we detected that your alarm device was triggered, so we rushed over to check the situation - that, nothing happened, right? What happened just now?"
They held pens and wanted to record why the alarm was triggered.
The woman snorted coldly and said impatiently: "I was just about to ask you! Nothing happened to me. Why are the alarms going off for no reason?"
Jiang Xia was driving the cat, hiding in the bushes, listening attentively to the conversation.
At this moment, not far behind him, a "meow" sound suddenly came. The sound was very long and very obvious in the night.
Jiang Xia was startled and turned around quickly.
Just then, he saw a black cat shouting behind him, then turn around and run away, slipping away through the bushes.
Almost at the same time, a beam of light came and landed accurately on Jiang Xia.
Then came the voice of the security guard, who nudged his companion with his elbow: "Look, there's a cat in the yard! The cat must have triggered the alarm by mistake."
As they talked, the two of them took out some long poles from the large tool bag, put them together in a few seconds, and combined them into a capture net - similar situations had occurred in other residents before. Although the walls of these single-family houses were high and polished, it was inevitable that some gifted cats would sneak in and accidentally set off the alarm.
Jiang Xia looked at the approaching security guards, then at the capture nets in their hands: "......?"
He actually...
Framed by a cat?
…
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and drove the cat to avoid the capture net swung down by the security guard.
Then, before the two could react, he ran to the gate of the yard, raised his paw and knocked on the closed iron gate, then turned around to look at the security guard.
"..." The two security guards looked at each other and walked to the door with a little surprise.
The black cat with white claws pressed against the gate. The circular capture net was difficult to use because of the gate.
The security guards hesitated for a moment, then carefully reached out their hands and tried to push the gate outwards.
As soon as a gap was opened, the cat nimbly passed through the crack and quickly disappeared into the night.
Security guard: "..." Is this an illusion? Why does it feel like the cat nodded politely to them before leaving?
The two were staring at the back of the dark cloud stepping on snow cat in a daze, and their ankles suddenly felt itchy.
When they looked down, they saw another cat, completely black, slipping out of the door, brushing past their feet, and running away quickly.
Security guard: “……?” Why is there another one?
The two hesitated for a moment and began to wonder whether they should go back to the yard and continue checking for other possible cats.
But now, there is no evidence that there are other cats in the yard.
They looked back at the door and saw that it was closed: the owner looked like he didn't want to be disturbed by the property management anymore.
"..."Thinking of the owner's bad temper, the two security guards decided not to go back.
…
With the tool kit in hand, the two of them closed the gate and prepared to leave.
When turning around, one of them couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "I was really scared just now - it's terrible for a woman to put on a facial mask at night..."
"Indeed." The other one nodded with lingering fear. After a moment, he said with a hint of doubt, "But why do I feel that this homeowner is particularly scary? When she opened the door just now, I actually felt like I saw a monster. I always felt that something was wrong..."
As he was muttering, he suddenly heard a sound of approaching footsteps.
The security guards looked at each other and shut up at the same time - service is paramount, and no matter how much the employees like to complain about customers behind their backs, they cannot let outsiders hear it.
...But, at this hour, who would still be hanging around?
The two security guards became alert and turned to look.
A young man was approaching.
When they got closer, they recognized it with the help of the stable wall lamp at the entrance of the courtyard.
——It’s the high school detective, Jiang Xia, who has been appearing on TV and in newspapers recently.
…I just don't know why, but in Jiang Xia's arms, there was a black cat. The cat was dazed, and it seemed like there were two mosquito coils in front of its eyes. It seemed to want to run, but couldn't get up. In the end, it could only lie there and let people touch it, and occasionally "meow" in humiliation.
"Hello." Jiang Xia pinched the powerless cat's paw, waved at the two security guards, and said hello, "I was visiting a friend nearby, and just now I saw the lights flashing in the courtyard over here, so I wanted to come over to see what was going on - what happened?"
As he spoke, that strange feeling of being watched came back again. It was as if someone was secretly watching him.
Jiang Xia raised his head, glanced at the round surveillance camera hanging at the gate of the yard, and then looked away.
On the other side, the security guard was relieved when he found that the person coming was a righteous detective and not a suspicious person.
The two were startled by the owner when they were on duty late at night and had some complaints.
But at this moment, seeing the young detective so diligent and willing to work overtime, the security guards' sense of professionalism was slightly pricked.
One of them apologized, "Sorry to trouble you - it's actually nothing serious, it's just that two cats mistakenly walked in here and triggered the alarm..." At this point, he couldn't help but glance at the cat in Jiang Xia's arms, which looked a bit like the one that slipped away later.
